Welcome to Cardology Case Study #3! In today's world, many people are trying to become more connected to spirituality. The funny thing is . . . many people aren't sure what "being connected" to spirituality means . . . or how to do it. That is why we will be using this case study to focus on the Neptune card with the help of Ms. Erkyah Badu.
"Badu has spent her life consciously preaching universal love and authenticity; for that reason she exemplifies spirituality."
Neptune Card: What are our desires and fears, how we connect to our subconscious mind and spirituality, how we relate to travel, and what we can expect during the later years of our life
What is spirituality?
About 6 years ago, I came across this quote from Haile Selassie the first posted in a Rastafarian Cafe. It said, "Spirituality is a network linking us to the most high, the universe, and each other." This quote became the foundation of my spiritual journey.
All the tools that we use to connect to our spirituality (such as meditation, fasting, and cardology) are really tools that we are using to connect more to ourselves. As we learn more about who we are at our authentic core, we are more prepared to connect with people, the universe, and our version of the most high.
How does Erykah Badu play a part in this?
Badu's music has taken over the neo-soul genre for decades. Each one of her albums is different from the next. Each one is inspired by different parts of herself or different stages of her life. She has never shied away from her own authenticity and her Neptune card plays a major role in that.
Badu was born on February 26th, 1971. This makes her Birth card a Q♣️ and her Neptune card a 5♠️. The Q♣️ is often called the "Mother of Intuition". Whether you are a man or woman with this birth card, the Q♣️ is one of the most spiritual cards in the deck. However, in order to tap into your spiritual gifts as a Q♣️, you must take the time to get to know who you are.
Watch the video below to learn more about the 5♠️ Neptune Card for the Q♣️.
Spirituality Looks Differently For Everyone
Based on the above video, you'll notice how much the 5♠️ affects the Q♣️ in relation to their spiritual journey. If you have a 4, 6, 8, or 10 as the beginning number of your Neptune card, you are likely to crave more structure and organization when creating your connection to the most high. The structure could come in the form of school, church, or becoming a hermit in the mountains. This is why your spiritual journey begins with getting to know yourself.
Badu was born a Pisces. This means that her Neptune card is the same as her Planetary Ruler card. Our Planetary Ruler card is the suit we wear for the world to see; it shows the world our personality and characteristics. So most people see the spiritual side of Badu at first glance. We as spectators see her spiritual side expressed in her music, her work as a doula and midwife, and her love of traveling.
Below is a quote from Badu from an article titled Erykah Badu finds much inspiration in traveling written in 2015:
“I’ve been traveling around the world collecting drums,” she explains. “I went to New Zealand and played with the Maori tribe. I went to South Africa, to Soweto, and played with a few tribes there; I went to Kenya and played with the Masai tribe in Nairobi; I went to Cuba and got some timbale drums from some of the elders there.… And when I say ‘got drums’, I mean I’ve recorded drums with either tribe-based societies or groups that were highly recommended to me. I pay them for their time, and I get to own the recordings. So those drums from all over the world will be the foundation of what this album is about.” -EryKah Badu (Read the full article here)
Badu has spent her life consciously preaching universal love and authenticity; for that reason she exemplifies spirituality. Another thing we can respect about her is her love of her privacy. She reveals what she wants, and locks away what she doesn't. Take this lesson from her as well. Your spiritual journey doesn't need to be public for it to be real, it just needs to be yours.
So, how do you find your Neptune card?
Step 1: Locate your birth card, based on your birthday, on the chart below.
Step 2: Find your birth card on the Grand solar spread below.
Step 3: Count 7 places to the left of your birth card to find your Neptune card. If you reach the end of the row, move down to the next row and read from right to left.

What is the next step for YOU?
My goal with this case study was to simplify spirituality for you. There are many different avenues that many different people are using to connect with their versions of the most high. At the end of the day, spirituality begins with how you connect with yourself.
Connecting with yourself can be a challenge if you aren't sure where to start. Studying your Neptune card can help you understand how to get that burst of spiritual inspiration that you've been looking for, however, if you are not ready to begin that journey alone I am happy to help.
